Former Building of Baekgu Financial Association, Gimje

Built during the Japanese colonial period, this building housed a small financial association established to support Japan's policy of economic exploitation. It has a T-shaped plan with a protruding entrance porch, a roof finished in galvanised sheet metal, and, befitting a financial institution, a relatively high ceiling inside. It stands as a witness to a history of exploitation, having played a leading role in shipping out rice produced in Gimje, one of Korea's great granary regions.
